somewhere we have a bunch of ISA cards that are like the ports on my hp time share system just not 16 ports...I seem to remember between 4 and 8... and they were for a PC type machine of course with the ISA ports. Although seen years ago I think I remember which shelf rack they got crammed into. - Anyone remember something like this? as i remember there are enough of them to let some go.
